I'm going to call BS on this one, for one simple reason: submitting source code to an application is both unlikely to fly with independent developers, and a pretty poor way to protect the underlying platform from malware. The former is especially obvious in the context of independent OS X developers' love/hate relationship with Apple -- it's a great platform, but if your app proves too popular, Apple is likely to just roll their own version into the next release of the OS, and shove you out of the market. Giving them source code along with the deal is just not a good deal for anyone but the boys in Cupertino. The second issue is more subtle, but no less important. Manually reviewing millions of lines of code submitted by random ADC members is hardly going to be cost or time-effective for Apple. Also, even if they did decide to eat the cost, it wouldn't work -- even gifted developers have a hard time doing strong security audits of their own code, much less that written by other people. Overall, it looks like a wishlist, not a feasible leaked outline.
